An attacker who controls the DHCP server can give your device more specific routes and this apparently can cause traffic to go over those routes instead of the VPN. So if your VPN says that it's taking traffic for 0.0.0.0/0, and the DHCP server says 0.0.0.0/1 and 1.0.0.0/1 route over 10.1.1.1, then all your traffic gets sent over 10.1.1.1 because those routes are more specific so they "win".

I don't know why this article is so long.

DHCP Option 121 allows the DHCP server to set routing rules for a given CIDR range, which end up having a higher priority than the default 0.0.0.0/0 rule due to higher specificity (longer prefix).
I’m pretty sure MacOS could easily have a built-in master audio mixer and a setting on that mixer labeled “bypass”, which gives the current MacOS behavior of “no master audio mixer.”

I can’t believe that only a few people have ever asked for a way to mute an app entirely.

I grow weary of excuses around the lack of a built-in feature for this. “Apple doesn’t want to do it” is the only reason.
The context for an LLM could include any number of things. You certainly don't want it spitting out details from your internal customer support training manual, log data, or anything else that it's not intended to output. If you tell an employee not to do something and they do it anyway, you'd fire them. If you tell an LLM not to do something and it does it anyway, it's a bug. This test evaluates how good the model respects its instructions.

I'd like to work on something like these, and I didn't know about them--thanks for sharing.

But I don't think the web has the right structure for an app like this. (Decidim seems to be a web app. It's hard to find information about this "Open Insight" thing they're talking about, presumably it is too?)

If you're using the web, somebody controls the server and the others have to trust that person to not abuse their role. It's not exactly primed for democracy.

Blockchains aren't quite right either. You solve the untrustworthy admin problem but you've got this really strong notion of THE official record, which only some people are going to have the ability to update, and that will be used by the powerful at the expense of the weak.

Whatever the right structure is, I think it's partition tolerant. Any party needs to be able to disconnect themselves from any other party such that:

- everything not reliant on that trust edge still works (the web would struggle with this)

- the untrusted party has no ability to censor the revoker, even if they're well trusted by the others (blockchains will struggle with this)

I've been tossing around ideas for what the ideal protocol would look like. SSB is the closest thing I can think of to compare it to, but nothing about it feels very solid yet.
The multiplier is in the billions. The actual results are gigabytes large. Your browser cannot handle that.
tldr DHCP can add routes, so it can add routes for the internal network of a VPN. It’s not obvious to me why this works, because VPNs set metric 1 on their routes, that’s why traffic goes into them regardless of what IP the surrounding network used. DHCP option 121 has no metric field, so it should get a high default metric and shouldn’t have any impact on a VPN with specific routes. If you only “set the default gateway” (0.0.0.0/0 route), then this probably works. But that also seems particularly amateurish, even for enterprise VPN admins.
It's fine to expect some people to buy a house with cash. I don't think that precludes saving for many years to do so (meaning the median income doesn't need to be $1M/yr).

I think you’ve misread my post. What is being “addressed” isn’t technical debt itself, but rather the author’s proposed failure mode of totally ignoring muda to focus on overly-incentivized “value add”, which he correctly forecasts will slowly destroy the product and company.

I’m saying that this doesn’t have to be a failure mode, so long as you acknowledge and record when muda has been skipped, and take that into consideration when holding leadership accountable to productivity metrics.

What you perceive is a kind of virtual reality similar to a video game. It's just constructed based on sensory input, but still has a coordinate system and a point of view, like the camera location in a game engine. Electrically stimulating certain regions of the brain can change the point of view, leading what is called an out-of-body experience. You may wonder how it is that you can move the camera location without moving the eyes. That's because the sensory input creates a kind of 3d model and just like you can imagine what if would be like to see the room from another angle, you can also "hallucinate" it.
I worked in a department that facilitated group discussions with a custom platform based on group decision-making research. One of the killer features of our platform was anonymity. Truth could arise in group discussions when people were free to comment, upvote, etc, without fear of retribution, being accused of playing polities, or just going with the crowd. Seeing everybody's name tagged in every comment in cq2 lets me know that people with uncomfortable ideas may be hesitant to post them. So I wonder what type of questions would be appropriate for the c2q type of tracking.

LARP Politics and Hyperreality
Did not expect this to also include Guy Fawkes/Anonymous mask tie-ins although it’s of course relevant to the thesis of the essay as one of the more well known LARPs in modern times.

> LARP refers to “live action roleplaying”, a genre of roleplaying game where a fictitious world with its own lore and internal logic is mutually agreed upon by multiple players. Each of these players acts out a character within this world and, through their characters, engages in dialogue with one another. Perhaps the archetypal example of LARPing describes the sorts of historical re-enactments one would find at a mediaeval fair, but the term has been used with increasing frequency to describe people’s relationships to extreme political alignments. This essay is an inquiry into why LARP has become so resonant for understanding the aesthetics of specific political and cultural phenomena in the 21st century.

…

> Hyperreality describes an ambiguity between image and reality. However, the dialectic between the two still remains culturally understood, and some things are perceived to belong to one camp over the other. I argue that in the hyperreal world of the 21st century, ‘image’ and ‘reality’ have become analogues to ‘online’ and ‘offline’. We have other synonyms that reinforce this dialectic such as ‘virtual reality’, ‘metaverse’, and ‘cyberspace’, compared to ‘IRL’, ‘meatspace’, and ‘physical’. Online phenomena are regarded as belonging to the order of the image by virtue of requiring screens to interact with them. Offline phenomena are regarded as belonging to the order of the real as interactions with them are physical and tactile. Of course, this distinction is artificial; much of the work done by affect theorists over the past thirty years demonstrates how interactions with images can elicit visceral and palpable physiological responses. Additionally, and of course, central to Baudrillard’s notion of hyperreality, our experience of the offline world is also understood via the mediation of images.

> Much like the distinction between LARP and reality, the cultural distinction between online and offline is also a function of hyperreality that masks the absence of the real. As described earlier in this piece, the political context of the 21st century is that politics are structured and understood according to their aesthetic features and affective value. For politics to be adopted as, and reduced to, personal style makes sense in the hyperreal world: the political subject is a consumer of images. LARP politics, in addition to describing a political engagement that can be turned on and off like a tap, describes an aesthetic quality of belonging to the internet. Because the online image-world is resolutely understood in opposition to the offline real-world, LARP politics are regarded as bizarre and out of place when they rupture into the real. Like any simulation, though, a rupture into the real is inevitable, and I argue is vital for the emergence of the declaration ‘LARP comes after farce’.

And I can't imagine this isn't going to make the order book look worse. I'm currently cross shopping Tesla with other EV's and plug-in hybrids and this announcement has me pretty much dropping the idea of getting a Tesla. If the supercharger network stops growing and being properly maintained it's going to become just another overburdened unreliable system. At that point the model Y's idiosyncrasies (eg limited physical controls and no CarPlay) overwhelm the advantages that the charging network previously brought.

> They aren't moral or immoral. They are simply unfeeling lawnmowers that chew up anything in their way and produce money. They neither like nor dislike you--they don't even think about you. They just robotically do whatever they can do to make money.

That's a useful model, but it isn't the whole story. It certainly often feels like that. However, the 10% of the time where the model doesn't hold really matters. Companies are made up of humans, and humans aren't just money-robots. Groups of humans don't automatically turn into unfeeling profit-maximizers either.

The moments when humans at companies make decisions that aren't purely motivated by short-term profit are significant and can have a large positive impact. It would definitely be nice to see it happen more often and more effectively.

>Are there companies that are making better electric cars than Tesla?

Yes, almost every large Chinese EV company has better cars than Tesla. Telsla's technology was the best many years ago but now it is years behind most other companies. Tesla's FSD is at least 5- years behind Mercedes-Benz and it purchases CATL batteries as they are better and cheaper. Also, every legacy automaker has better build quality eg Volkswagon or Hyundai, etc.

VPN can be trivially defeated any number of ways. I was shocked when I first learned this ten fifteen years ago through a site that showed my internet provider and location despite being on a VPN. I forgot the name of the site.

A huge problem that doesn't even require defeating is, most OSs and VPN clients, if the connection is shaky, just reverts to the default connection. Even a single packet is enough for your VPN to be worth nothing. In Ubuntu, it required setting up elaborate firewall rules and activate them after you get a stable VPN connection to avoid this. (and even that doesn't protect you from DNS and other stuff being able to track you) (let alone cookies which reveal who you are etc etc)

I would point out that Martin Fowler, Kent Beck and Gergely Orosz were writing that you cannot measure productivity of a single team member.

*You can get a rough sense of a team's output by looking at how many features they deliver per iteration. It's a crude sense, but you can get a sense of whether a team's speeding up, or a rough sense if one team is more productive than another.*

So in that sense "value add time" will be a valid metric. But it is still not a single number that one can give without context to the CEO, that CEO still has to ask questions like "we usually have X time spent on fixing bugs, aren't you gaming the system to get your bonus?". That is the CEO job to understand the metric not to be gamed...

Unfortunately housing prices are rising so fast that saving for years doesn't necessarily get you there, unless median income is close to ~1M by my back-of-envelope calculations, which include:

- taxes (1M is close to 500K after taxes)

- money that you need to cut out and put into retirement to sustain yourself from age 65-100

- living expenses and rent until you buy

- real estate prices rising the whole time
An interesting thing you can do in Google Maps mobile app is go to a city and scroll down and you'll start seeing reviews of restaurants and places left by locals. For example, look up Zanzibar in Google Maps mobile and scroll up on the info view at the bottom (where it has the Directions/Save/Share buttons) to get to "Latest in Zanzibar".

By seeing the pictures and reviews you can get an idea for local dishes.

I disagree- getting wet is a huge deal, and is why breathability is generally more important than absolute waterproofness, especially if you are doing hard physical work. People do die from exposure in the wilderness after getting soaked with sweat, and then stopping to rest.

I just don't think gore-tex and DWR are the best solutions for staying warm and dry... there are lots of other options that are more durable and keep you drier in practice. Besides the non-synthetic stuff above, I also prefer Columbia Outdry, and polyurethane with large zippered vents over gore-tex/DWR. In the real world, the breathability of gore-tex just isn't enough to be useful, it's close to a plastic bag.

But I agree that for your average urban person doing a quick walk in the rain from a parking lot- just getting the outside of a sweater damp is no big deal, and they probably don't even need to own an expensive rain shell.
Last year, we released zrok, an open-source sharing platform built on top of OpenZiti - think, an alternative to Ngrok, Tailscale Funnel, and others. zrok makes sharing resources like HTTP servers, TCP and UDP tunnels, and files simple, fast, and secure.

We have now released a NodeJS SDK for zrok so that a simple, secure sharing model can be extended to your custom NodeJS tools and applications.

Read more on our blog - https://blog.openziti.io/the-nodejs-zrok-sdk.

We have included an example enabled using an Express web server.

We also have a zrok SDK for Golang and Python. Support for other languages is forthcoming.

If you'd like to express interest in having the zrok SDK support other languages, contact us on our Discourse.

If you like zrok and want to support its continued development, please drop a star on our zrok repository on GitHub; it means a lot to us.

Usenet died due to spam. Newsgroups were unmoderated by default, and moderation wasn’t built into the protocol.
